No first term President who sought renomination has been denied it since 1856, as Reagan found out in 1976 and Kennedy in 1980.  No way anyone could have kept W from being renominated, especially sice they'd have had to have laid the groundwork in 2003 when Bush was far more popular than he ever would be again.  That popularity likely played into Hillary's decision to not run in 2004.
